We transiently transfected fusion genes with the 5'-flanking region of the angiotensinogen gene linked to a bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) coding sequence as a reporter into opossum kidney (OK) cells. The addition of 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-BrcAMP) (10(-3)-10(-7) M) or forskolin (10(-9)-10(-5) M) stimulated the expression of the plasmid pOCAT [angiotensinogen nucleotide (N) -1498/+18] fusion gene in OK cells in a dose-dependent manner. The addition of dexamethasone (Dex) (10(-6) M) further enhanced the stimulatory effect of 8-BrcAMP or forskolin, whereas the addition of (R)-p-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate [(Rp)-cAMP[S], an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A, I and II] blocked the stimulatory effect of 8-BrcAMP. Furthermore, the addition of 8-BrcAMP (10(-3) M) or Dex (10(-6) M) or a combination of both stimulated the expression of pOCAT (angiotensinogen N -1138/+18), pOCAT (angiotensinogen N -960/+18), pOCAT (angiotensinogen N -814/+18), and pOCAT (angiotensinogen N -688/+18), but had no effect on the expression of pOCAT (angiotensinogen N -280/+18), pOCAT (angiotensinogen N -198/+18), pOCAT (angiotensinogen N -110/+18), pOCAT (angiotensinogen N -53/+18), and pOCAT (angiotensinogen N -35/+18). To further localize the putative cAMP-responsive element (CRE) in the angiotensinogen gene, we constructed fusion genes by inserting the DNA fragments angiotensinogen N -814 to N -689, angiotensinogen N -814 to N -761, and angiotensinogen N -760 to N -689 of the 5'-flanking region of the angiotensinogen gene upstream of the thymidine kinase (TK) promoter fused to a CAT gene and introduced them into OK cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The 72-kDa heat stress protein (HSP-72) is an inducible cytoprotectant protein. Although transient renal ischemia in vivo induces HSP-72, it is not known whether prior heat stress protects renal epithelial cells from injury mediated by ATP depletion. To evaluate this hypothesis, opossum kidney (OK) cells were exposed to sodium cyanide and 2-deoxy-D-glucose in the absence of medium glucose, a maneuver that reduced cell ATP content to < 10% of the control value within 10 min and decreased cell survival. One day after 2 h of ATP depletion, OK cells previously exposed to heat stress (to induce accumulation of HSP-72) exhibited marked improvement in survival (a > 4-fold increase in total DNA), less uptake of vital dye, and less release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) than cells subjected to ATP depletion alone (23.0 +/- 1.6 vs. 34.1 +/- 1.2% of total LDH, respectively). Enhanced clonogenicity post-heat stress was completely prevented by cycloheximide and positively correlated with the steady-state content of HSP-72. In the recovery period after ATP depletion, cell ATP content, maximum mitochondrial ATP production rate, and total LDH activity were all significantly higher in cells with abundant HSP-72. Although the protective effects associated with heat stress are likely to be multifactoral, preserved cell metabolism and higher ATP content could enhance cellular repair processes after ATP depletion.

Epifluorescence microscopy and video-image analysis were used to measure the distribution of the monovalent organic anion fluorescein (FL) within the cells of three organic anion-secreting renal epithelia: crab urinary bladder (a proximal tubule analogue), opossum kidney (OK) cells in culture, and intact teleost proximal tubules. In all three preparations the intracellular FL distribution was nonuniform. Two distinct intracellular compartments were detected, one being diffuse and cytoplasmic and the other punctate. With low FL concentrations in the medium (1 microM and below) dye accumulation in the punctate compartment exceeded that of the cytoplasm. In crab bladder epithelium FL uptake into both compartments was inhibited by external probenecid, p-aminohippurate (PAH), and LiCl and stimulated by 10-50 microM external glutarate, suggesting that the punctate compartment loaded by a two-step mechanism: transport into the cytoplasm at the basolateral membrane, followed by accumulation at specific intracellular sites. Experiments in which FL was microinjected into OK cells directly demonstrated movement of FL from the cytoplasmic to the punctate compartment. Accumulation in the latter was specific, i.e., inhibitable by coinjected PAH and probenecid, and energy dependent. Together, these findings indicate that during secretion organic anions are sequestered within renal cells. The role of sequestration in overall transport remains to be determined.

Regulation of phosphate transport by parathyroid hormone (PTH) was investigated in continuous lines of kidney cells. Phosphate transport was reduced by PTH-(1-34) at physiological concentrations (EC50 5 X 10(-11) M), whereas much higher concentrations were required to stimulate cAMP formation (EC50 1 X 10(-8) M) in opossum kidney (OK) cells. The PTH analogue [Nle]PTH-(3-34) also inhibited phosphate transport but did not enhance cAMP formation. Instead, [Nle]PTH-(3-34) was a competitive antagonist of PTH-(1-34) at cyclase-coupled receptors. PTH-(7-34) had no effect on phosphate transport or cAMP formation. Phorbol esters or mezerein were potent inhibitors of phosphate transport but did not affect cAMP synthesis. Their potencies paralleled the rank-order potency of these agents as activators of protein kinase c in other systems. Maximally effective concentrations of PTH-(1-34) and mezerein did not produce additive inhibition of phosphate transport in OK cells. Phorbol esters stimulated phosphate transport in JTC-12 cells, but PTH-(1-34) had no effect. We concluded that PTH regulates OK cell phosphate transport by interacting with two classes of receptors, and transmembrane-signaling mechanisms. Physiological levels of PTH-(1-34) may regulate phosphate transport by activation of protein kinase c, whereas higher concentrations appear to activate adenylate cyclase.

Cultured opossum kidney (OK) and porcine kidney (LLC-PK1) cells were compared for biochemical characteristics and cystine transport systems. The cell lines differ in amount of protein per cell, with OK cells having approximately one-half the amount found in LLC-PK1. Both cell lines contain 19 micrograms DNA/10(6) cells. As cells reach confluence, cystine uptake increases in OK and decreases in LLC-PK1 cells. Throughout the growth period, only lysine inhibits cystine uptake in OK, whereas glutamate is the inhibitor in LLC-PK1. The predominant site of cystine transport in OK cells is across the apical membrane, and the basolateral membrane is the corresponding site of transport in LLC-PK1 cells. Although the intracellular reduced glutathione pool is the same, the cysteine pool in OK cells is approximately one-fourth that found in LLC-PK1 cells. The ability of OK cells to reflect the shared cystine-dibasic amino acid transport system and LLC-PK1 to exhibit the cystine-glutamate antiporter system makes available two models for investigation of the development and structure of cystine transport systems.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of protein kinase A and protein kinase C activation on the membrane expression of NaPi-4, the type II sodium-phosphate cotransporter in OK cells. NaPi-4 expression was measured using polyclonal antisera produced in rabbits against a peptide identical to the carboxy-terminal 12-amino acid sequence of NaPi-4. The antisera identified an apically localized protein by confocal imaging of intact OK cells and a broad band of 110–140 kDa by immunoblot analysis of OK cell membranes. Treatment of OK cells with parathyroid hormone (PTH) decreased the intensity of the 110- to 140-kDa band, which was detectable by 2 h, maximal by 4 h at 62%, and sustained for 24 h. 8-Bromo-cAMP (8-BrcAMP) inhibited NaPi-4 expression for up to 24 h by over 90%. However, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate inhibited NaPi-4 expression by less than 10%. PTH-(3–34), a fragment which stimulates only protein kinase C, inhibited phosphate transport but also had no effect on NaPi-4 expression. We conclude that protein kinase A but not protein kinase C inhibits sodium-phosphate uptake in OK cells by downregulation of NaPi-4 expression.

We have previously shown that the p-aminohippurate (PAH) transport system in OK kidney epithelial cell line is under the regulatory control of protein kinase C. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) could activate protein kinase C, as well as protein kinase A, in OK cells. In the present study, the effect of PTH on PAH transport was studied in OK cells. PTH inhibited the transcellular transport of PAH from the basal to the apical side, as well as the accumulation of PAH in OK cells. Basolateral PAH uptake was inhibited by PTH in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Protein kinase A activators did not affect the transcellular transport or the accumulation of PAH. The PTH-induced inhibition of the accumulation of PAH was blocked by a protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine. These results suggest that PTH inhibits the PAH transport in OK cells and that the messenger system mediated by protein kinase C, not protein kinase A, plays an important role in the regulation of PAH transport by PTH.
